Description from the seller
Elisabeth Koetsier (Zwolle, 1952) lived in the 1970s in North Africa, mainly in Tunisia and Morocco. Back in the Netherlands she pursued training at the Academy of Visual Arts in Kampen, department of Monumental Design with a specialization in painting. She works alternately in the Netherlands and in France where she has a studio at the foot of the Pyrenees. Elisabeth paints the things she deals with, those around her at home or outdoors. Simple vase and bowl forms are, in her view, monumentally enlarged in the still life. Another theme is that of structures—houses, towers—in their landscape. Heavy paper or canvas serves as the support; the surface of her works she builds up from colors laid in transparent layers over one another. This gives rise to an inquiry into how the forms relate to each other and to the surrounding space. In addition to this typically sober work, she also finds her subjects in a more baroque world, from which work arises with an almost opposite character.
